The book seeks to highlight Rabindranath Tagore’s genius as a rebel dramatist. More lovingly called Gurudev, Tagore is one of India’s most cherished renaissance figures. He was a social reformer and a humanitarian. Through his writings he presented his protest against prevailing social evils like idolatry, religious bigotry, caste system, class divisions and gender biases. Tagore was ahead of his times; his literary works translated the essence of their creative impulses into a social context and helped people to dream of a better world even in the darkest times.
